Abnormal blood test...

[shsm]

Hi guys, in a state right now... I had bloods taken on Wednesday and doc did d-dimmer, FBC, u and e, vitamin D and thyroid test. I rang the docs today to see if the results were back and the receptionist said that they were abnormal and I need to discuss them with the doctor and in the next breath she said "don't panic if it was an emergency they would have rang me" but...

I can't not panic, all sorts going through my head. I managed to get an appointment at 1600 today.


Full blown panic right now...

Hi. I know how scary it is but maybe your low in a Vitimin? I has his once before and had to go to see dr and he said I was low in iron.

I'm glad they got you in today. Then at least you'll have an answer before the end of the day. I don't know what those tests are for except thyroid, so I can't really speculate, but according to the receptionist it's not an emergency. Just try to breathe and distract yourself until the appointment. Please let us know how it goes!

As hard as it is try not to worry, they would have rang you if there was a problem, not waited for you to ring to get the results.

I know this for sure...last night I was sat watching tv around 9.30pm my phone rang and it was my (lovely) GP.... I almost lost my life with the shock, she'd rang to say my chest xray showed I have a small infection that needed antibiotics, and as she wasn't in until Friday, she would leave a script for me at the desk.

She said she had been that busy and was sorry she had me so shocked and worried, that it was an infection and nothing else

Let us know how you get on.

Sorry for the late reply guys... So I go to the docs and see a useless doctor that I don't see regularly. I can see his computer screen from where I was sitting and I notice at least three things were highlighted abnormal. I feel my heart racing and am expecting the worse. Then the doc says urrr your vitamin d is low and everything else is fine.

I did not say that I noticed at least three things highlighted abnormal because I did not want him to know I was snooping.

My mind is racing however whatever was abnormal is not concerning the GP.
